How often does it need cleaning and how?

I haven't had mine long enough to be able to give the answer that Amazon tweeted via email.

one cant reall clean the inside but the small tube can be cleaned with running water. I bought for my daughter who was going to have some surgery she does not use it now

We typically wipe it out with a damp cloth every day. Once a month we take it to the tub and scrub it down.

We clean the system at least every third time we use it. Does not go a week and is very fussy.

I have only had mine 6 months, but after reading a lot online the recommended is once a year. Also if the water slows going through filter scrubbing with a soft scouring pad will help, but so far I haven't had to do that.

You need yo run white vinager through it ang wipe it Dow 1-2 times a week. I've gone though about 15 cat fountins and this by far is the best including cleaning. Make sure you add or exchange water every day. Ty

Depends how often you use it. If daily, I'd say once a month would be plenty. I just use warm soapy dish water with a soft brush to clean mine. Rinse off with water and make sure they're completely dry before re-installing and using them in the unit. I've owned several more costly units throughout the years, and this one is the most dependable unit I've owned. It's nothing fancy, no nice wood cabinet etc., but it's a great price and does the job. More than happy with mine... I highly recommend it. I also turned several family members on to this unit.

I wipe the blades clean with a wet papertowel then leave out to dry for several hours. This only needs done every few weeks. As far as cleaning the exterior of the unit I use my vacuum (the attachment for cleaning furniture, pet beds, etc) or I will wipe it down with a wet papertowel or cloth. This is the 2nd unit I've had that has the blades that can just be wiped clean. No filters to replace and no mess. I love it!! This one doesnt seem to collect as must dust/pollen as well as the last one I owned but this was much less expensive. I would purchase again.

Impossible to give a definitive answer. Too many variables. Where do you live? Pets? Do you regularly vacuum? I clean mine once a month - it's easy and quick.

I just wipe it clean once per week but I think the key is to use distilled water so deposits won't be an issue.

Mine has never required cleaning and I use it almost daily. I think a soft bristle brush should do the trick if you feel like cleaning.

I probably wash it more than I need to. I do three rooms. I just like it clean each time to start over.

We clean ours about every 2 weeks. Although we do use our own media so cleaning amounts may vary.

No, I do not clean it after every use. I do rinse it out from time to time and wipe the outside more often and it always looks lovely. No problems whatsoever.
